I'm a renter, so I'd throw a brick through each window of my property manager's tesla.

Lynch's business partner who was also involved in defrauding HP was killed in a hit and run while jogging 2 days before Lynch's yacht went down.

Our electoral system is just shit.

She's way more popular and so are her policies, but having the support of the majority of voters doesn't guarantee victory like it would if we lived in a democracy.

The first iteration had a rules of war/ethics type system where as well as K/D ratios etc. it gave you a rank for how well you obeyed the rules of war. I remember I number of articles talking about how abysmally low all the scores were.

The game was such a realistic representation of the US army that players could just war crime to their hearts content with no repercussions.

”pre-emptive" now means brutal and unnecessary violence designed to save the political career of a tyrant?

Even CNN felt the need to scare-quote the term in the headline and the article, since it's obviously a lie.

I love that the first sperm analogy he can think of involves drinking a cup of it - kinks out no shame! - but my favorite part is when he forgets the number '43' over the course of eight words and writes '47' instead.

Truly an opinion worth considering.

What would this do to the local ecology?

This was my first thought.

Marine tardigrades are the weirder, cooler cousins of the freshwater moss-piglets we all love. They are just one of the species that live in intertidal sand.

A friend of mine had his phone snatched on the bus, so he had me call his phone and pretend to be the phone company, telling the thief that he'd won a new phone and I just needed his address.

The police were very happy that we'd done their job for them, and they got his phone back.

"It went down, not in one minute as some scientists have said. It went down in 16 minutes," Costantino told the Financial Times. "You can see it from the charts, from the [Automatic Identification System] tracking chart."

Business Insider could not independently verify his statement.

The yacht maker offered no proof, so we'll have to wait and see if it's yet another rich person lying.

Speaking of rich people lying, Mike Lynch and his VP of finance, Stephen Chamberlain, were accused of using fraud to overvalue their company before selling it to HP, who wanted $5b in damages.

They were acquitted last month. Chamberlain was killed by a car while jogging, two days before Lynch's yacht went down.

Threaded messages seems fine to me, as you said that usage is more well understood than threadiverse which risks conceptually-centering a billionaire controlled platform.

The existence of threads makes threadiverse an inappropriate name for fediverse content aggregators, is the point I was being overly sarcastic about.

Defederating from threads seems like the best way to make it nice. That way there's less influence from psychopathic billionaires who happily stoke genocide for clicks.
